Photo: Angela Merkel poses with Germany squad after Portugal victory

After watching her lads rout Portugal 4-0 in their opening Group G fixture, German chancellor Angela Merkel ventured down to the dressing room at the Arena Fonte Nova and posed for a group photo with her Nationalmannschaft.

Indeed, not satisfied with a mere group shot, Lukas Podolski then ventured to nab himself an altogether rarer celebratory selfie with the chancellor too, which he duly posted on Twitter.
